    #1 Best Boarding High Schools in Berkshire County

    Senior: As an international student who has been here for four years, I believe that Miss Hall's has offered me the best I can envision for a high school experience. People care here. My teachers invest their greatest effort in helping us discover our interest and supporting them. I never realized that I have this great passion for art before I came here, nor I have envisioned being able to present myself confidently in front of a crowd of 300 people regularly. The Horizons program which provides internship and volunteer opportunities that combines our interests has really boarded my horizon and challenged me to think beyond the classroom. The administration also cares. The voice of the student government is always valued and considered in their process.

    #2 Best Boarding High Schools in Berkshire County

    Junior: Coming to Berkshire School was one of the best decisions in my life.

    Here, I have a tremendous opportunity to grow and try new things. This is in large part because of the supportive and friendly teachers and classmates.

    In terms of academics and many activities, there is virtually no ceiling to the heights you can go. There are ridiculous research opportunities in AMSR and AHR, you receive so many resources and support to pursue niche interests , and I have the chance to direct my own show as a junior!
    You can do anything if you put in the effort.
    Also, the community here is really truly supportive and collaborative. The Asian and Asian American students wrote an open letter to the administration about representation, and within two weeks they got to sit down with the board of trustees. This is just one of the ways students here feel empowered and supported.

    Plus we have a breathtaking campus.

    • Private School

    #3 Best Boarding High Schools in Berkshire County

    Senior: Upon entering this community I was suddenly so involved with every aspect of learning. I transferred from public high school and the contrast was incredible. During my time here, I have been challenged in and outside of the classroom, to question who I am and changes I want to make in my life and in the world around us. Because truly, within such a small student body every action is felt and valued here.
    Buxton is a place for the self motivated. Your experience here is honestly what you make it. You will find mostly everyone here is accepting and supportive, and I have never felt more comfortable to be myself than at this school. Buxton is also very art oriented, it is held in high regards from students and faculty. With it's liberal nature in terms of academics, deadlines, and the exempt of grades, I have found most graduates feel shaky their first year of college, and this is my one critique in terms of academic structure.

    Parent: Our son is currently in the 2nd grade. He has been at the school for two years, and it has been a wonderful experience. The enthusiasm of the teachers, who are truly experts in the subjects they teach, is infectious. They consistently set high standards for all students at every stage of their academic career. This is a school that prioritizes academics and the students themselves; it is targeted to students with intellectual curiosity and a strong work ethic. We are very happy here!

  5. Bard Academy at Simon's Rock

    • Private School
    • Great Barrington, MA
    • 9-10
    • 2

    Alum: I really enjoyed spending time as a student in Bard Academy at Simon's Rock. Overall, I have to say the academics of the school are incredibly strong, and the program most certainly accomplishes its goal of preparing individuals for college in two years. Bard Academy offers opportunities you can't find almost anywhere else: the chance to have all of your classes taught by incredible professors, the privilege of having the full resources of a college campus and being able to speak with any college professor in any field about anything on your mind, and being able to take (admittedly up to two) college classes while in high school. My greatest frustration during my time in the Academy was the limit on two college classes; however, the program is quite young and is still evolving. As a result, the staff and faculty who lead it love to hear your propositions, and enjoy working alongside students to make things work best both from an administrative and an individual student's perspective.
